Bus entry: Goshree samithi protests

KOCHI: The Goshree Manushyavakasha Samrakshana Samithi observed Sunday as protest day, to highlight the ‘negative’ attitude of the Government in permitting private buses from the Goshree islands into Kochi.

The General convener of the samithi Paul J. Mampilly said that this was among the electoral promises made by the LDF during the 2006 Assembly election. Neither Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan nor Transport Minister Mathew T. Thomas have taken the issue seriously, he said.

More protests would soon be held. The vehicles of non-residents in the islands would be stopped on the bridge, if buses are not allowed into Kochi city, he said.
